Audience: This forum is open to all members of the Democratic Party of Hawai’i as well as the general public.

Forum Format: Each candidate will be given 2 minutes for opening and a closing statements with the remaining 31 minutes to be used to answer a set of questions asked by the emcee from the LGBT Caucus as well as the Labor Caucus. If we exhaust all the prepared questions we will go to questions submitted by the audience either on index cards or email chair@glbtcaucushawaii.org for those audience members participating via the video-conference system.
